People & Team Development
Team development aims to enhance collaboration, productivity, and trust. Through workshops and coachings, team and individual communication is improved and shared goals are achieved more effectively.
Team development is a process - not an event

Case Study
Team Development for the Leadership Team
Background
The leadership team, consisting of 8 executives, was instructed to develop and implement a shared strategy. The goal was to transform a “mixed bag” into a cohesive, more collaborative team with an overarching strategy. The hierarchical structure was to be further developed to drive the transformation and inspire employees.
Guided actions
- Regular Leadership Offsites: Designed and facilitated to foster strategy development and collaboration.
- Design of Management Processes: Introduced strategy development and execution processes, along with guidance through OKRs and specific role definitions.
- Teamwork Methods: Implemented tools for prioritization, decision-making, and team roles.
- Reflection and Feedback: Established mechanisms such as retrospectives and the role “Retro Master.”
- Shared Leadership and Coaching: Enhanced responsibility through a “shared leadership concept” and provided coaching to support the transformation.
Outcome
- Trust: Within 1.5 years, trust was built, collaboration strengthened, and a more open learning culture was established within the leadership team.
- Ownership: Shared leadership encouraged greater accountability and improved prioritization of strategic goals and their implementation.
- Confidence in applying leadership practices in day-to-day situations: Methods tested within the leadership team increased practical confidence to use them in line organization, leading to a sustainable shift in leadership attitudes and observable behaviours.
"Sebastian led our leadership team into the future over the course of 1.5 years with targeted team development. Regular offsites, as well as reflection and feedback mechanisms, strengthened trust, collaboration, and communication.
"Shared leadership" started as an intriguing experiment but has now been successfully established, fostering a greater sense of responsibility. The new strategy process fosters clarity and prioritization.
An impressive transformation - I am thrilled! Thank you!"

Team workshop with Insights Discovery ®
As part of our team workshops (as well as individual coaching processes and programmes), we like to use personality inventories to highlight the diversity of individuals, reflect on it, and help participants learn to adapt their behavior to different situations.
The Insights Discovery Model is based on the research of Swiss psychologist C.G. Jung and helps to understand different personality types with their various communication and behavioral preferences. Using an intuitive color system, the strengths and risks of different types are made obvious which provides a great basis for self-reflection and for a joint reflection within a team.

The current Quality Management Team at Heraeus Conamic was formed by merging two previously separate teams. A team workshop was initiated to enable team members to get to know each other better and to help participants learn to recognize and appreciate different personalities and perspectives within the team.

- Facilitation of a one-day team workshop led by Sadya Barletta, where the Insights Discovery model was used as a foundation for reflection on individual behaviours, preferences, and team dynamics.
Outcome
- Improved understanding and knowledge of team members.
- Strengthened team spirit and cohesion within the newly formed larger team.
- Enhanced communication behaviour within the team.

Individual Coaching
Dedicated support for sustainable personal growth and success
Individual coaching is an effective measure, mainly for leaders and emerging leaders, but also during phases of significant professional challenges in general.
Throughout a coaching process, you work in a confidential setting with one of our experienced coaches on a clearly defined development goal or topic. The coachee is supported to reflect on his/her own behaviour, recognize strengths and development areas and, based on this, defines and implements actions for change. Depending on the topic and situation, this usually means an intensive process with multiple coaching sessions over a longer period of time.
As one element of a talent or leadership development program, coaching allows for intense individual support dedicated to the specific need and challenges of the individual, thereby enhancing the overall effectiveness of the programme.

In my coaching sessions with Lisa Haider, we followed a very structured approach to address my personal issues, and I received valuable tips that I was able to integrate quickly into my daily work routine. After just a short time, I noticed a significant reduction in time spent and an improvement in my work efficiency. Lisa’s positive and empathetic manner added the perfect touch to this wonderful coaching experience. I highly recommend coaching with Lisa to anyone who wants to grow personally and professionally. Thank you so much for that.

Sebastian both supports and demands sustainable development when he dedicates himself to a transformation project. With his optimistic and consistent manner, he helped me and my team to to realize given behavioural patterns and establish new ones. His many years of management experience combined with a great interest for people and their skills are extremely valuable. A big thank you for the intensive support.
